Nicki Minaj flaunts engagement ring after DJ Khaled proposal [SEE PHOTOS]
Some of you might have heard that Nicki Minaj took a restraining order out against DJ Khaled after he proposed to her publicly...that report is false, she never did. In fact just two days after the proposal, Nicki was spotted showing off a diamond engagement ring that looks like the $500k ring DJ Khaled proposed with.
Nicki isn't engaged to DJ Khaled but she's kinda playing along to help him promote his upcoming album. The two are said to be friends. Friends of Nicki say she found the public proposal funny.
Nicki is engaged to her long-time boyfriend and hype man, Safaree.
Bayern set to tempt Mourinho with £40million plus offer for Chelsea star Luiz
Bayern Munich are planning to step up their interest in David Luiz and are prepared to pay more than £40million.
Bayern manager Pep Guardiola sees central defence as one of the few areas where he can improve the European champions and has long been an admirer of Luiz.
Chelsea maintain the 26-year-old Brazilian, who signed a new five-year contract last September, is not for sale and manager Jose Mourinho tried to quash suggestions that Luiz is not his type of centre half during an in-depth interview on the team’s tour of Asia.
‘The potential is incredible,
amazing,’ said Mourinho, when asked about Luiz. ‘He always has to play.
For me he is a central defender.’
But the rumours refuse to vanish where Luiz is concerned.
Yesterday, the Catalan newspaper Sport reported that Barcelona are ready to move for Luiz, who joined Chelsea from Benfica for £25m in January 2011.
Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested if they lose Thiago Silva to Barcelona. Several wealthy European clubs are in the market for a stylish centre half; someone who is quick and confident on the ball and not many players fit the criteria.
Luiz does, but if Chelsea sell him
they will inherit the problem of how to replace him. Mourinho likes
Eliaquim Mangala but Porto have made it clear they want more than £35m
for the 22-year-old French international.
The future of Luiz is one of the issues Mourinho will have to address when he meets his entire squad for the first time since he returned to the club from Real Madrid.
Luiz is one of six Chelsea players who featured in the Confederations Cup and were excused from the tour of Asia but will report to the Cobham training ground today before leaving tomorrow on the next leg of pre-season in the USA.
Mourinho spoke to the absent six on
the phone when he started the job, but did not make a special effort to
contact Luiz or Juan Mata when their names appeared in connection with a
possible part-exchange deal for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Chelsea have been at pains to point out that they don’t want either player to leave and they hope Mata will open negotiations over a new contract in the near future.
Luiz and Mata, however, will expect confirmation of precisely where they stand in the manager’s plans from the man himself, as will Fernando Torres, for whom the signs have been clear since Chelsea confirmed their written bid for Rooney.
Mourinho has voiced his concerns
about Torres, explaining that he does not think the £50m striker is able
to operate as he would like in congested spaces against teams who pack
their defences, as teams tend to against Chelsea.
John Mikel Obi is another player it has been suggested could move away from Stamford Bridge.
The Nigerian has been linked with a possible transfer to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Chelsea in turn are interested in Brazilian defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo, who plays for Bayern

Mafikizolo Leading Man, Theo Kgosinkwe Denies Gay Rumours
By far this stands as one of the most bizarre allegation thrown at any man especially if that man is straight! Some people will just laugh it off but others might even sue anyone or organization that started the talk.
Mafikizolo is a famous music group from South Africa made up of two fantastic singers: Nhlanhla Nciza and Theo Kgosinkwe. (The 3rd member was shot in 2004. Read More: http://pulse.ng/2013/07/02/mafikizolo-goes-beyond-south-africa-2/) Now that their Magic hit “Khona” is making a massive bang across the continent, one of the members, Theo is under heat over his sexual orientation.
Theo was faced with same charges back in early 2011 which he refuted. In response to that, Theo tied the knot with wife, Rose, to prove he was actually into women. He is a father of two and he loves the Lord more than anything in the world. After his marriage and the group’s reunion, the singer/ performer is still be accused of being gay?
“I love God and I have no idea people would think I am gay. I don’t even know where that’s coming from. It’s just ridiculous! I love my wife and hey, she’s a woman…” Theo laughed when posed that question in Lagos. he’s previously stated firmly: ‘I’m a family man’ – in every sense of the word. (http://drum.co.za/2012/06/22/im-a-family-man-theo-kgosinkwe/)
Meanwhile his wife, Rose blasted on The Sunday Paper, “I have never doubted my man and his manhood. I am proud of him and trust him. We are happily married and my husband is good in bed. We take our marriage covenant seriously. We are even trying for the second child. Our marriage is stronger than ever and we know that the devil is a liar.” Rose Kgosinkwe (http://www.justcurious.co.za/2011/03/things-that-make-go-tjo/)
The anonymous persons spreading this accusations may have facts but because they have decided to stay in hiding, Theo is been regarded as the victim of circumstance back in South. Maybe they are just hungry and/or publicity seekers who just want to stir up trouble for no good reason. However, the 29 year old is pouring all of his energy into work and his family.
The singer is presently bent on touring the globe and promoting their songs as far as its gets. No time to tackle senseless rumors!

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt returned to the Olympic Stadium with an astounding 9.85secs finish in the 100m at London IAAF Diamond League, branded the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games on Friday. Bolt’s season-long penchant for a reserved entrance had him arrive on a drivable rocket engine. Three hours later, the legendary Jamaican struggled to get off his block as against the fire-spitting noise of his entrance in what he described as a ‘horrifying’ start. His reaction time of 0.175 and his pick up left him behind the fast-starting Kim Collins, but halfway through the sprint; the big man came storming through while others fell back. His flying finish took him across the line in 9.85secs.
A beautiful walk is the sign of a graceful, poised woman. Start in your good posture stance and follow these steps:
1. Lift your thigh slightly. Don’t lead with your shoulders.
2.
For a feminine walk, the space between your steps should be about the
length of your foot. Too long a stride is masculine, too short is
mincing.
3.
On each step your heel should touch the floor first, then quickly shift
the weight forward to the entire foot as you take the next step. Keep
your feet close to the ground when you lift them.
4.
Arms should hang relaxed at your sides with palms toward the thighs as
they swing forward to the front of your body. Shoulders should be
relaxed and elbows close to your sides.
5. Keep your toes pointed straight ahead and place your feet directly to the side of an imaginary line running down the center.
Clothes,
make-up, jewellery…nothing makes an ordinary woman as beautiful as a
proud carriage and a graceful presence. Practice your standing and
walking in front of a mirror until your muscles learn the correct way to
move.
Here are some examples of common walking and posture faults you should avoid. Are you moving like this?
1.
The Sway Back – The tummy is thrust forward and the derriere back. The
result makes the walker appear back heavy. She waddles and looks
shorter, stockier, and awkward.
2. The Off-Balance – She carries too much weight on one side and rolls like a boat in a storm.
3. The Ungainly Stride – She galumphs with large steps, her torso and head behind.
4. The Bird – She walks with an out-thrust neck, sometimes looking down. She looks off balance.
5.
The Bouncer – She rises on her toes and drops down on her heels. She
moves forward with a rising and falling action, like a bunny hopping
down the street.
Try noticing your posture and how you walk to day. Do you walk like a lady?

REVEALED: How These Girls Are Used As sèx Slaves In Lagos
It will shock you how this young girls (teenagers) are turned into sèx slaves in underground cartels:
"I was in JSS3 at the time, and I was too young to understand anything. So, when I became pregnant, I told my boyfriend about it, but he denied it and ran away. That was how I stopped going to school. After about two years, I came to Lagos to hustle. One aunty then introduced me to this business."
Martha is a 15-year-old girl endowed with beauty but...
She faces a very bleak future as she is held captive in a brothel in Gbagada, a suburb of Lagos, where she has to sleep with men old enough to be her father and surrender her entire earnings to a woman designated as her aunty. In return, the aunty gives Martha a sum she deems sufficient to cater for her basic needs.
The more than two decades old brothel is located close to Sawmill Bus-stop in Gbagada. In it resides a cartel of mature prostitutes called aunties, to whom younger girls like Martha are responsible. The older prostitutes act as guardians to the younger ones aged between 14 and 19 years. Most of the girls are said to have been lured to Lagos from Edo and Delta states by their aunties. With a promise of the good life, the girls follow the aunties to Lagos only to be lured into prostitution.
The cartel’s mode of operation is similar to those that have been reported about innocent Nigerian girls lured into prostitution in Europe. The girls, who are mostly from poor parental backgrounds and broken homes, serve their aunties for as long as two years before they are deemed matured enough to stand on their own.
A source in the hotel told our correspondent that for a newly recruited girl to become a member of the prostitution ring, her aunty has to pay the sum of N50,0000 to the proprietor of the brothel as registration fee. After that, the aunty makes the young girl to sleep with older men. All the proceeds from her sèxual activities go to the aunty who decides how much is returned to the young girl as “pocket money”.
Our correspondent visited the hotel on a sunny day last week and met one of the girls named Martha, an indigene of Delta State. She was decked in a gown that barely covered her backside. Like a famished tigress, she rushed towards the reporter, offering him sèx. After a brief discussion, she led the reporter to the brothel’s bar and was quickly joined by three of her colleagues.
Martha was the first to order for a bottle of a popular herbal drink called Alomo Bitters. With promise of a long-term friendship from the reporter, she opened up on her past and her dreams, narrating how she became a sèx worker in the hotel.
Surprisingly, she doubles as an apprentice hairdresser, hoping to settle down into hairdressing business someday. But for now, she is under contract to serve her aunty for 11 more months, during which she must hand over her entire earnings.
Martha said: “My aunty is very nice. She gives me money, depending on how much I make in a day. I am from Delta State, and I am learning to become a hairdresser. I will leave next year after my service. After that, I will open a shop and become a businesswoman.”
It took her no time to finish her drink and order for another bottle. At this stage, the discussion became livelier, as the four girls freely talked about their lives as prostitutes in the brothel.
“I am very brave,” said Martha, beating her chest as she spoke. “I can take on as many men as are available at a time.”
But going by her confessions, she is an endangered species. Besides the meager nature of her income, she is daily exposed to the danger of being defrauded or physically assaulted by the men that patronise her. Only a few days earlier, she lost her cell phone, which she said she bought for N32, 000, to a client from whom she had only reaped N2,000.
She said: “The man stole my phone after paying me N2,000. I called the number and he picked it, but claimed that the phone belonged to him.”
Asked if she was not afraid of contracting HIV/AIDS, she said she had received enough lessons on how to protect herself against sèxually transmitted diseases and other dangers that come with her trade. She said apart from insisting that her clients must wear condom, she had been taught not to get carried away when entertaining them.
“The first thing they taught us was that men are cunning, and that we should be very careful with them. We also go for medical check-ups regularly. But one thing is that we don’t sleep with men without condoms,” she said.
Martha is not alone in this modern day slavery. She has a partner in soft-spoken Janet, an indigene of Edo State. At 17, the second child in a family of seven says she took to prostitutìon because she wanted to make a success of her life.
In her barely audible voice, she said she was forced to go into prostitutìon because her elder sister was not discharging her responsibilities towards their parents. She is expected to gain her freedom in November, when she would have served her aunty for more than one year.
She told a pathetic story of the events that led her into prostitutìon, saying that unlike Martha, she plans to go back to school.
“I want to go back to school. I came here because there was nothing else for me to do. But once I finish serving my aunty, I will leave this place completely and make sure that I go back to school,” she said.
Interestingly, Janet is in the business with her cousin, 15-year-old Pat. Evidently more daring and outspoken than her two other colleagues, Pat declared that she wanted the reporter to have a relationship with the three of them. “I like you. If you no mind, all of us fit be your friend,” she said, her colleagues nodding in affirmation while she continued to do justice to the bottles of Climax energy drink in front of her.
A quick tour of the brothel revealed that it contained 54 rooms, each allocated to an aunty. While a first-time visitor would only notice the front gate and the rear gates, a closer observation would reveal other entry and exit points.
The arrangement of the rooms makes it difficult for a non-regular visitor to master the terrain. The source at the hotel said the arrangement was meant to conceal the activities of the prostitutes.
According to the source, 14 of the rooms are allocated to teenage prostitutes while the rest are occupied by their older and more experienced aunties.
At Room 19, a busty lady, probably in her 30s, sat on a stool by the door. Asked why she was idle at that time of the day, she said she was waiting for prospective clients, adding that business had been dull because of the Ramadan period.
She jumped up at the reporter’s suggestion of a deal. After a quick negotiation, she agreed to take N750, down by N250 from the N1,0000 she demanded initially.
A visit to Room 32 revealed that the occupant was one of the aunties named Faith, from Edo State. She agreed to give a younger girl to the reporter for a fee to be agreed. But she argued that she was capable of anything the younger girls could offer.
Upon the reporter’s insistence, she dashed to Room 30, where some of her girls were sleeping at the time. The lot fell on 19-year-old Sarah, who quickly went to another room to prepare the bed.
The innocent-looking girl felt disappointed when she returned moments later and was told that the reporter had changed his mind, but with a promise to come back later in the evening. She ran back into the room, ostensibly to steal a few minutes of sleep before another client would come knocking.
Such has been the lot of the young girls in the brothel. They take care of the sèxual needs of their clients at night and give the proceeds to the aunties. Yet the little time they have to rest or in the day time is repeatedly punctuated by clients who stroll in, in the day.
A funny incident had occurred at the brothel the previous night. Encouraged by the hotel source, the reporter had stormed the hotel at exactly 8:30 pm, hoping to take pictures of the girls’ activities. One needed no one to tell him that one had stepped into an ‘unholy’ ground. From one room to the other, both the young and the old prostitutes showcased their ‘wares’ with skimpy dresses.
One of them named Jessica said she had been expecting a customer for more than two hours without luck. The reporter’s arrival therefore gave her the hope of making some money, which she said had been scarce since the commencement of Ramaddan. Jessica, who claims to be a mother of one, lamented the lull that had occasioned the fasting period. She also said she had been unlucky with her love life.
According to her, she had her child, who is now 11 years old, after she was put in the family way by her boyfriend. The man later denied the pregnancy, leaving her and her poor family to cater for the boy.
She said: “I was in JSS3 at the time, and I was too young to understand anything. So, when I became pregnant, I told my boyfriend about it, but he denied it and ran away. That was how I stopped going to school. After about two years, I came to Lagos to hustle. One aunty then introduced me to this business.”
But in spite of all that she has been through, Jessica insists she has no regrets about her past. “What is there for me to regret now?” she asked rhetorically.
It is now more than a decade that Jessica took the unholy path of selling her body for money, but both joy and wealth, the twin reasons she opted for prostitutìon, have eluded her. Rather she has had an unsettled life, with no decent home or man to call her own.
While denied having any regret, it was obvious that Jessica was not the happiest of women. Her expectations from the trade were far from being met. Unfortunately, she has no other profession to turn to.
She said: “Let me confess, I thought I would have made it more than this. At a point, I even tried to travel to Italy, but the aunty who wanted to help me stole all the money that I saved. She asked me to bring N500, 000, promising to take me to Italy. I was able to raise about N400, 000, which I gave to her. But after that day, I never saw her again. If I didn’t lose that money, I might have stopped this business by now.”
For Jessica and the other young girls in the brothel, the future looks bleak. What with their meager daily earnings, most of which they spend on feeding, medicals and fairly used clothes. Whatever is left in the end cannot guarantee the flashy lifestyle that prompted them to go into the trade.
It is no longer a secret that more than one thousand Nigerian girls are trafficked to different countries by prostitutìon rings in Europe every month. The unholy trade has assumed a height never seen before in the last decade, with Italy as choice destination.
However, recent investigation has shown that the crime is gradually declining in Western Europe following strict laws on illegal migration and the efforts of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
But while the fight against the international prostitutìon rings may be gaining momentum, with relative success, locally-based prostitutìon rings are devising a model fashioned after the Europe-based rings to lure young and innocent girls into the world’s oldest profession.

Pastor Battles Etsu Nupe Over Daughter’s “Forced Conversion” To Islam
This is a must read people, no jokes.
When Miss Charity (Aisha) Uzoechina, 24-year-old daughter of a Pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, left their Abuja home to further her studies at the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State, her parents had no inkling that it was the beginning of many days of sorrow.
Instead of the formal education she traveled to acquire, the young Christian girl is now allegedly pursuing her new faith of Islam at the palace of the Etsu Nupe.
For the parents, the pain is not just that Charity has abandoned her Christian faith, but that she now stands completely separated from them.
She was alleged to have converted to Islam on her own volition and changed her name to Aisha.
However, contrary to these claims, Pastor Raymond Uzoechina is insisting that his daughter is a victim of forced conversion to Islam.
The RCCG Pastor has, therefore, called on security agencies to investigate activities at the palace of the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, to ensure that many people there had not been forced to convert to Islam and held against their will.
He said: “Apart from my daughter, there are so many people at the palace. There is need for the police to investigate and ensure that the people are not suffering the fate of my daughter”.
Pastor Uzoechina believes that his daughter was kidnapped and hypnotised.
Narrating the genesis of the problem, he said it all started on March 1 and 2 when he got a call from an aide of the emir, asking him to come to the palace.
On getting to the palace in Bida, he said he met his daughter with two other women, adding “the man said these women brought my daughter to the palace that she has embraced Islam and she has also been withdrawn from school. Those women even claimed they have taken her through the rudiments of Islam and have started looking for a school for her. At this juncture, I demanded that I am going home with her. But the man declined, saying only the emir has the power to allow the girl go with me. They took me to the emir but the emir refused my plea, saying I should come back next week.”
He continued that on March 4, two people who claimed to be from the Bida Sharia Court emerged with his daughter with a folded paper and asked him to sign but he refused.
Pastor Uzoechina got the greatest shock of his life when he tried to take his daughter but was told that she was now under the custody of the Sharia Court.
The Sharia Court 1, which said it arrived at the decision because the girl claimed her father could kill her following her change of faith, also accused the defendant (Pastor Uzoechina) of shunning an invitation to appear before it to defend himself.
“At this juncture, this honourable court hereby orders that the custody of the plaintiff be entrusted in the hand of Etsu Nupe for the time being and the Etsu Nupe should employ a qualified Islamic scholar who will be teaching her and showing her what the Islamic customs is all about and the plaintiff can even be watching and selecting a man of her choice whom she will want to marry as her partner”, the court held.
In this state of confusion, Uzoechina said he had appealed the decision of the Sharia Court 1 through his lawyer, Anthony Agbonlahor.
The lawyer also petitioned the Chief Judge of Niger State, complaining about the conduct of the judge of the Sharia Court 1, Justice Abdulkadir Idris, saying that the court had no right to take custody of the girl.
“Contrary to the principle of natural justice vis- a-vis fair hearing, our client was not served either with the court summons/processes or hearing notice. The case was filed on March 4; the case was heard March 4 and judgment delivered on the same day. In fact, judgment was also executed on the same date. The question is: why the urgency?”, he wondered.
Also, Pastor Uzoechina is still bemused over the fate of his daughter as well as the decision of the court.
According to him, “They (sharia court) have fixed Thursday, August 1 for ruling on our appeal that they don’t have jurisdiction. You can’t judge a Christian in a Muslim court. I am appealing to them to vacate the judgment because they don’t have jurisdiction.”
How can I kill my daughter?”
Concerning her daughter’s alleged fear that he would kill her, he said “That is not true. My daughter cannot make that allegation. Why should I kill her? We asked them to bring her to the court so that my lawyer can cross-examine her but they refused.
“If she has converted to Islam, must she practice at the Etsu Nupe’s palace? Is Etsu Nupe the chief security officer now? They should not separate me from my daughter. She has stayed in the palace for six months. If they say I will harm her, let them release her to the Inspector General of Police, leader of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN or ask me to write an undertaking. Why is my daughter still under Etsu Nupe’s enclave? I am only talking about my daughter; there are so many people at the palace. There is need for the police to investigate and ensure that other people are not suffering the fate of my daughter. They did not allow my wife to see my daughter when she visited the
palace.”
Be that as it may, the Etsu Nupe is not in any way moved by the Pastor’s arguements, instead the emirate has produced legal documents where Charity reportedly said she had converted to Islam and alleged that his father could kill her for the action hence the need to seek protection from the Palace and the Sharia Court, which the court granted.
The Etsu Nupe has refused to release the lady to his father citing the sharia court ruling.
The emirate also absolved itself of the allegations of kidnapping and hypnotizing the young Christian girl.
It said in a statement that Miss Uzoechina approached the monarch for protection over her change of faith from Christianity to Islam on February 15.
It continued that “the royal father invited the father of the girl for talks, with the hope of reconciling them. On March 2, the father came to the palace and was taken before His Royal Highness. It was at His Royal Highness chamber that the father came face to face with his daughter. After discussions with the girl and her father, the Etsu Nupe asked the girl to go back home with her father to resolve the matter as a family.
“The girl refused to go home with her father fearing that the father may harm her going by the encounter at the Etsu Nupe’s palace. The girl left the palace and approached a court in Bida for protection, a request which the court granted the girl. The girl has since been in the custody of the court in Bida. Her reason was that her father insulted her and she was scared that he may harm her because of his utterances during their short meeting.
As it stands not, it will take only the court for the young girl to be re-united with her family. The long awaited August 1, 2013 ruling of the Bida Sharia Court 1 may not even be the end, but beginning of a long legal battle.
Villas Boas Says Bale Contract Talks Are ‘Ongoing’.
Tottenham
Hotspur manager Andres Villas-Boas has revealed that talks are in
progress between Gareth Bale and Spurs about a new contract for the
forward.
As
reported by Marca, Real Madrid are ready to make a world-record offer
for the Welshman, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester
United.
Meanwhile,
Villas-Boas has already stressed the fact that the London club are not
interested in selling Bale regardless of the size of the offer with the
view of having him around for a much longer period.
“There
was contact between the club and his agent last year and there is
ongoing contact between the club and his agent,’ Villas-Boas said.
“Talks are ongoing but that doesn’t mean there is an agreement.”
Bale
signed a new contract with Spurs in 2012, which keeps him with the
White Hart Lane club until 2016 but that has not discouraged top clubs
from queuing for the forward.
“We
renewed his contract at the beginning of last season, if you remember,
and it’s something that is being dealt with by the chairman and the
agent.
“At the moment we’re confident that the player is under contract at Tottenham, as was done last year,” he continued.
“It’s something that we’re speaking about, but there aren’t any developments.”
After
scoring 26 goals for Tottenham last season, the former Southampton
winger has become one of the most sort after player in the Premier
League.

47 Year Old Grandma Wants Cosmetic Surgery To Make Her Look Older
UK Daily Mail reports:
You think she looks way younger than her age? Continue to read her story...The mother-of-four says she is constantly being mistaken for a woman half her age, and says looking like a 20-year-old is actually ruining her life - and now she's thinking about having cosmetic surgery to make herself look older. Anne says that her youthful looks have ruined a marriage and two long-term relationships, as younger men constantly chat her up
Her eldest son, who has recently become a father, hates being seen with her after being mistaken for her boyfriend.
Now size eight Anne fears her youthful
looks will mean a lifetime of loneliness because she only ever gets
chatted up by toyboys she has nothing in common with.
She
says: 'Everyone wants to look younger but I'm not joking or
exaggerating when I say looking young is ruining my life. I would do
anything for a few wrinkles to look my age.
'Why I have none is a mystery to me
but the older I get, the bigger the problem becomes for me. I need
someone to invent the reverse of Botox because I'm desperate to look
older.'
Anne married her first husband at the age of 24, but within a few years they were bickering over her looks.
She said: 'I was in my late twenties but my husband noticed much younger men looking at me and he started to get jealous.
'I wasn't interested, but as the years passed I remained looking the same age and he looked older, which led to even more rows.
'We were the same age but he hated people thinking he'd married a younger woman so I did my best to dress older.'
